Battle of Changping Chapter 013 Three steps on the sand table to lure the enemy
Listening to Lian Po's words, no one present interjected.
The baton in Lian Po's hand then continued to wave:
"According to the general's opinion: our army can slowly withdraw from the Danshui defense line, lure the Qin army to advance eastward in the overall situation, and at the same time divide into three.
First, the main infantry soldiers of the Bailishi Great Wall defense line, with the line of the old pass and Changping Pass, blocked the way for the Qin army to continue to advance;
Second, with cavalry as the main force, from Changping Pass around the Danzhu Ridge, west across the Danshui, into the hinterland of the Shangdang, on the plain to cut off the Qin army's eastward advance and the west bank, cut off its grain and straw, causing its self-defeat;
Third, with two elite armies, hidden in the Great Grain Mountain, Hanwang Mountain, waiting for the Qin army to retreat westward, then from the middle, attack its flank, and the main force of the foot soldiers also from the old pass, Changping Pass line to kill, the Qin army was caught off guard, there is Danshui in front of the road, there is the pursuit of the army in the back, there is our army's elite attack on the side, although Qin Wu'an Jun is in person, there is nothing to do, and he will be defeated. ”
After finishing speaking, there was no expected applause, Zhao Kuo, Tian Dan, and Xu Li stared at the sand table one by one and fell into contemplation.
Lian Po was not surprised by this, after all, his tactics were finally figured out, and if it was so easy to applaud, then he would have to doubt the true ability of the person who came.
After waiting for a while for everyone to digest their deployment, Lian Po then continued to speak. "There are three advantages of this battle: first, the main battlefield is in the place where our army has been stationed for three years, and when it comes to the terrain, our army is familiar with it but the Qin army is unfamiliar; Second, the people in the place where they are located will not turn against our army, thus exposing the intentions of our army; Second, in the plains, riding on foot can minimize the problems caused by insufficient troops. ”
Without waiting for everyone to question it, Lian Po continued to blow up his shortcomings: "Of course, if this battle wants to go smoothly, there are three major difficulties:
First, before the layout of our army is completed, it must not be detected by the Qin army, whether it is the hidden army in Daliang Mountain and Hanwang Mountain, or the cavalry army that detours through Danzhuling, it must not be detected by the Qin army, otherwise it will fall into the siege of the Qin army. This matter, because of the people's will, is not difficult to think about.
Second, the cavalry army of Danshui in the west not only had to face the Qin army several times its size, but also cut off the supply line of the Qin army in the middle of the country, which was not easy. However, Ben Jiang has been in the party for three years, but he has not done nothing, the supply line of the Qin army has long been known to the general, and the last general will lead the team, and he is completely sure to end the supply line of the Qin army.
Third, it is the time to launch a counterattack. Earlier, it was afraid that it would be counterattacked by the Qin army, but it would fall into the Qin army, and a little later, the main force of the Qin army would retreat to the west bank of Danshui, falling short. In this matter, the general has never been able to make up his mind, but now that General Tian has arrived, this appointment is none other than the general. If the timing of the fire bull rush is in place, even the general will be willing to bow down. ”
After the words were finished, Zhao Kuo, who was waiting on the side, was not happy, not only was he unhappy with Lianpo's tactics, but also from his unhappy tactics, he didn't need him as the main general at all.
Of course, it's no wonder that Lian Po is not guilty. Who would expect anything from a stinky boy who hasn't dried up? In Lian Po's plan, the lord who comes will be incompetent, as long as he can follow his "advice" and keep it in peace.
However, Zhao Kuo in front of him has obviously proved that he is not a mediocre talent on the sand table, at least not on paper.
It's embarrassing!
Do you leave a capable master idle? What do you think!
And this, apparently, the other two people present also felt it.
So, Lian Po's words fell, and the scene immediately fell into an awkward silence, whether it was Tian Dan or Xu Li, they all quietly looked at Zhao Kuo, as if they were waiting for General Zhao's anger.
However, Zhao Kuo was not angry, but just looked at Lian Po for a long time.
In the embarrassing atmosphere where the needles fell, Lian Po obviously felt something, especially when Zhao Kuo's playful eyes appeared, he realized that he seemed to have made a huge mistake again - he left out the main general!
"Ahem." Lian Po coughed lightly twice to ease the embarrassment, and his mind raced wildly, trying to salvage the situation. After all, the current general is Zhao Kuo, if this plan is denied because he has no role of his own, it will really outweigh the losses.
When Lian Po was racking his brains, Zhao Kuo took the initiative to explain Lian Po.
"As for the general, he should be the best candidate to lure the Qin army to attack! After all, with the prestige of General Lian Po, no matter how weak he is, it is impossible for the Qin army to take the enemy lightly! Zhao Kuo laughed, looked at Lian Po, and continued: "If you change to a stinking general like me, it is very reasonable to retreat after the attack fails!" Do you say yes? ”
"Hmmm! This is true, this is true! Lian Po muttered to himself, but his heart was bright.
Seeing that Zhao Kuo, who was the most difficult to agree, was talking about his plan, it was obvious that this matter should be almost inseparable! Thinking that his plan could be implemented, and three years of hard work were not in vain, how could he not make Lian Po excited.
However, the next words were like a big bucket of cold water, pouring on Lian Po's warm heart.
"General Tiandan, what do you think of the tactics of the old General Lian Po?" Zhao Kuo turned his head to look at Tian Dan on the side and asked.
Tian Dan groaned slightly, and after a long time, he finally spoke, and said: "The last general thinks that this method of battle is impossible!" ”
Cannot?
Cannot!
In just two words, Hong Zhong Da Lu rushed straight to Lian Po's face, and the originally excited mood instantly turned into full of anger, and there were almost sparks in his eyes, staring at Tian Dan who was talking. But if the other party has a word he doesn't like, he wants to swallow it in one gulp.
How could it be? How could it be!
This is a tactic that I have exhausted my efforts and deduced day and night, how can it be so easily rejected.
Tian Dan didn't hear it, and pointed to the country on the sand table with his arm.
"In this battle, regardless of whether the Qin army can be deceived and made to advance, and whether the partial division of Daliang Mountain and Hanwang Mountain and the cavalry that bypassed Danzhu Ridge will be discovered, not to mention whether they can hold the Baili Stone line after the division of troops, it is impossible to force Qin to retreat by cutting off their grain and straw!" Tian Dan said lightly.
"Huh?" Lian Po couldn't accept it for a while: "Cutting off the enemy's grain and grass, this way to win since ancient times, how is it impossible?" ”
"Dare to ask the general, how many days of food and grass are left in the army?" Tian Dan did not answer directly, but asked Lian Po a question.
"There is still food for March!" Lian Po did not hesitate, and replied.
"Our army carries the month's worth of grain." Zhao Kuo was on the side and replied to Tian Dan.
